If I could be great at anything...

Ok talk about big wave surfing, right?!  Anyways, earlier this week someone asked me if I could be good at anything what would it be...well I chose surfing, and i definitely stick to that decision.  Not only would you be super hard core as a surfer, but you'd also be at one with the waves...and that is neat.  Oh what I would give to be a professional surfer...

...with my by myself...

Ok so SNL had the funniest sketch with Ann Hathaway and everyone should watch it.  I have watched it numerous times and it's still hilarious...so here's the link...

Oh and don't mind the beginning...it's just one of those lame advertisements

Fall Colors

So today was the Utah vs. Colorado game...and to say the least, we totally killed em'!  Go UTES!  It was a real hot day at the game, I swear it could've been summer.  Oh and let's not forget our wonderful friends who sat behind us...he he, ya not cool at all!  I really think Alyson was close to killing them.  But anyways, after the game, as I drove home I noticed the vibrant colors, I just absolutely love fall time.  So incredibly wonderful, right?!

10 Good Reasons to Vote...

1.  When you are registered to vote, your complaints are taken more seriously
   
2.  If you disagree with a friend or family member politically, vote to counter their vote
   
3.  Your vote is more significant in local elections, such as city council and state legislature        election, because the number of eligible voters is smaller
   
4. Communities with a higher number of registered voters get more attention from politicians
5. Many men and women over the years have sacrificed their lives and put forth a great effort in pursuit of greater opportunities and freedoms, the least YOU can do is register and/or vote
6. It's your right!  Voting is the cornerstone of democracy.  The power and responsibility of governing lies upon every citizen.  Your vote is your power
7. You represent a combination of interests unique to only you.  When you register to vote, you become part of multiple networks that share your concerns and interests
8. In 2006 only 36.1% of the 13,021,986 eligible voters in New York voted, meaning that a U.S. Senator can be elected with less than 20% of the eligible vote...tisk tisk tisk
9. During the 2005 Iraqi elections, when insurgents said they were going to bathe the streets in blood, over 70% of the population voted.  In the U.S., only 41.3% of eligible voters in 2006 went to the polls...again tisk tisk tisk
10. To keep tuition from rising!  Politicians want to be reelected....so of course they are going to represent the people who are registered to vote.  If college students are not registered to vote politicians will feel no responsibility to help them out.  It's actually quite simple, right?  Right.
